After I died, the scumbag prince cried down the city wall
Chapter 79: Cutting the Territory
"If you don't want others to know, then don't do it yourself." Cui Rongrong said calmly, "Do you think you can do whatever you want in the capital city just because you have the Sixth Prince backing you up? A mouse will always be a mouse, don't think you can easily escape the claws of a cat. Look at your current appearance, do you think you can fight against the two of us by yourself?"
The man from the border pursed his lips, feeling extremely regretful. He was so careless that he didn't even notice the breath of Cui Rongrong and Jiang Zhen.
It is undoubtedly a pipe dream to want to escape from under their noses.
But he knew in his heart that once he fell into Cui Rong's hands, the only way waiting for him was death, and he wouldn't even be able to keep his body intact!
So, he took a deep breath, his eyes became extremely sharp, he gripped the dagger tightly, pointed it directly at Cui Rong, and decided to give it a try to fight for his chance of survival!
The frontier man's attack was fierce and direct, but Cui Rong remained calm. She dodged lightly, easily resolving his attack and kicking him hard in the abdomen with her backhand.
The blow was as fast as lightning and so powerful that it kicked him directly and hit the wall behind him.
Cui Rong walked slowly towards him, looking down at him condescendingly, and said in a resolute tone, "Now, you have no choice but to surrender."
There was a faint trace of blood at the corner of the frontier man's mouth, and the bright red looked particularly glaring under the dim light.
His eyes were filled with resentment and resentment as he stared at the woman in front of him. He said in a low and hoarse voice, "I never thought I would fall into the hands of a weak woman like you! You can kill me or chop me up, it's all up to you!"
After saying this, he took a deep breath.
"However, out of kindness, I still have to remind you."
There was a hint of threat in his words, "If anything happens to me, the borderland may not be able to maintain its former peace!"
Cui Rongrong's eyes narrowed slightly, with a cold light flashing in them.
She lifted her foot slightly and placed it accurately on the back of the man's hand. As her toes pressed lightly, a clearly audible sound of bone cracking rang out in the silent house, accompanied by the man's heart-wrenching screams.
"Ah!" The cry of pain echoed in the narrow space. The face of the man from the border turned pale in an instant and beads of sweat the size of beans slid down his cheeks. The two people standing beside him were indifferent, without any sympathy in their eyes.
"Using innocent people from the border to threaten me is not a smart move."
Cui Rongrong's voice was as cold as ice. "You are just a stray dog now, you can only be manipulated by others."
She smiled contemptuously and continued, "Didn't your leader teach you that a man who knows the times is a hero?"
"From now on, you have to answer whatever I ask. If you dare to tell a lie, I will not show mercy to your other hand either."
The men from the border had seen the ruthlessness of Cui Rong's methods, so how could they dare to disobey her in the slightest? They nodded quickly, their eyes full of fear.
"What's your name?" Cui Rongrong's voice sounded again, with an authority that could not be ignored in her coldness.
"Mu Fan." The man's answer was brief and weak.
"Mu Fan, what a nice name." Cui Rongrong's tone remained calm. "I have been in this frontier for six years, and I have some understanding of the surnames here. The surname Mu is the bloodline of the nobility. If the nobles of the frontier meet with an accident in Bian Tang, the frontier will indeed have reason to start a war again."
"It seems that your leader has a very good plan. But, didn't your people plead for you?" There was a hint of sarcasm in her words.
Mu Fan smiled bitterly, "If it wasn't me, it would have been someone else. I am the only one in the tribe who knows martial arts and is the oldest. If I don't come, will the leader put the whole family to death?"
"Ms. Cui, I have no choice. If you are willing to let me go and help me remove the poison, everything can be discussed." There was a hint of begging in Mu Fan's voice.
However, Cui Rong just sneered, causing a hint of embarrassment to flash across Mu Fan's face.
"Do you think you have the qualifications to bargain with me?" Her voice was cold and hard.
Mu Fan's face turned pale in an instant and he remained silent. He knew that his situation was precarious.
"Your people are now under the control of the leader. You can't escape, nor can you disobey orders."
Cui Rongrong looked at Mu Fan with sharp eyes, "What's more, you have been poisoned and your martial arts skills are gradually disappearing. If the leader knows this, you should know the consequences better than anyone else."
"But if you are willing to cooperate with me, you and your people may still have a chance of survival."
Mu Fan raised his head suddenly, with hesitation and struggle flashing in his eyes.
"Why should I believe you?" There was a hint of despair in his voice.
Cui Rongrong raised her lips in an imperceptible arc, "Now, besides trusting me, do you have any other choice?"
"The fate of you and your people is now in your own hands." She looked at Mu Fan quietly.
In the face of life and death, Mu Fan obviously cares more about the safety of himself and his people than his loyalty to the tribe and the leader.
Having experienced the protracted war with the border, she had seen many frontiersmen, but there were only a few who were truly willing to give everything for the tribe.
After a short silence, Mu Fan seemed to have made up his mind and spoke slowly: "Since Miss Cui has already held the fate of me and my people in her hands, I naturally cannot resist. So, Miss Cui, what do you want me to do first?"
Cui Rong's smile deepened, but she was not in a hurry to answer his question: "Let's wait a little longer. I'm more curious about why the leader of the border asked you to negotiate between His Royal Highness the Crown Prince and the Sixth Prince. What secrets did you learn from these two members of the royal family?"
Mu Fan pursed his lips, his expression complicated: "It turns out that Miss Cui knows even such secret things. It seems that my every move cannot escape your discerning eyes."
After recognizing the reality, Mu Fan chose to be honest and told Cui Rong everything she wanted to know: "The Crown Prince and the Sixth Prince, they fight openly and secretly, and their goal is the supreme imperial power. Therefore, they have found our leaders one after another."
"The leaders are naturally happy to see this happen. Both the Crown Prince and the Sixth Prince have promised generous rewards - as long as they help them seize the throne, they will agree to cede land to the border." Mu Fan's words revealed a complex meaning.
Hearing this, Cui Rong frowned, and a look of disbelief flashed in her eyes.
Song Yanyi and Song Yanchen were so audacious that they were willing to give up their territory and seek help from the greedy border leaders in order to fight for the supreme throne. This behavior shocked her and was difficult to accept.
Once the greedy wolves on the border have tasted the sweetness of ceding land, they will fall into an abyss of desire that can never be satisfied, and endless demands will follow.
